Made by Chloe is the place to go for modern, chunky knitwear in distinctive colours. I'm a huge fan of big, textured wool and choose colours and designs that allow you to really get a feel for the original yarn. My 'winter collection' is a selection of cowls, but in the coming months I'll be branching out to bags and jumpers, which is quite exciting for me. So watch this space! At the moment, my favourite item has to be the neck smuggler (I've made ten for myself!); they're practical but they add something really unique to an outfit.

I just love knitting. I love the process, the calm it brings, and the joy of creating something with just my two hands. It's my escape from modern life, I suppose. When I knit I feel as though I'm in touch with the past, and I like thinking about all of the people who have been doing this for thousands of years. I'm really interested in taking an 'old' creative and injecting elements of new style. At the moment I'm really interested in developing my own stitches and amending 19th century patterns to suit today's styles. Its very much a work in progress but I'm getting there slowly!
